Haunted Houses: Ghostbusters (1984--34 Years Old Today!)

The principle building, mentioned in the film as being located on Central Park West, actually is located there at 55, in the historic district of NYC. Again, like the Dunimuir house in Burnt Offerings, it has been around for a long time (earliest portions of the building apparently date from 1910's). It has also had a long list of famous occupants and still is a building filled with private residences. To my knowledge, it has not reported any activity of the paranormal--which is actually kind of surprising! 👻. Of course, the whole premise of the story is a spoof of Rosemary's Baby and the building she finds herself trapped in.

Wow 34 years old! This movie still holds the record of how many times I have seen it in the theater! 6 times!! Any time a buddy wanted to go see it I would be more than happy to join in on the fun. Loved this movie.

I was the same! I think this is a tie for me, along with Raiders of the Lost Ark--I was barely old enough to go the Raiders with friends at least once alone with friends--by the time this came out I really had a taste for dragging peeps to the theater!

About This Blog

Welcome to my Friday Frights live blog. Every Friday, we select a theme, such as Ghosts, Vampires, Zombies, etc. and view films on the subject. During October, we hold a month long Countdown To Halloween, and treat every day like a Friday. That extends by 3 days into November for Native American observance of Days Of The Dead (thru Nov. 3 AKA Hanal Pixan) I also like to do some special stuff to do with Christmas Horror and world "creeps" of Christmas in December. Wado/Thanks for stopping by!

About Me

I am a huge horror movie fan. But I also enjoy pushing the concept of Friday Frights far and wide. Every Friday is set with a theme of some sort and it doesn’t always have to to be straight horror. You name it: mysteries, favorite directors, crime, killer plants, zombies....killer bunnies, etc. I also like to mark Friday’s that fall on specific dates with a theme. My favorite is Friday the 13th! But , July 4, Christmas Horror, Halloween and even New Year’s (again, etc.) have been done as well. Am I weird. Yes I am! Proud to be freakish! Additionally I am crazy about the beginning history of the film industry and silents of any genre. Many know that I also write about Native American issues; since I've been trained in the food profession, I've recently started a blog spot on Native New World food.
